Fascinating story that is somehow made somewhat boring in book form lol. Just dragged on way too long in certain parts in a self-indulgent way. Still, what a freaky dude. I ended up reading the beginning and the end and still getting a lot out of it though I lost interest in the middle.

Historian Andrew Nagorski tells the fraught tale of the escape of an aged intellectual giant from the Nazis. Freud and his practice of psychiatry and his writings made him a target of the newly elected Nazi Party under Adolf Hitler. He is no longer safe in Vienna. This is the long unknown tale of his escape to London.
